I'll go for a no ladybird, but you're not alone I have narcissus to plant and some tulips (leaving them until Nov.)

I too haven't planted any bulbs, been too busy getting tender things under cover. Bulbs are waiting until November. As for hoarding, well, I am also a hoarder. I always think things will come in handy one day I've found that as soon as I get rid of something, I need it ! But I don't hoard those flower pots that plants are potted in when you buy them - they've got too many big drainage holes ...

I definitely will plant them this weekend. I have a little blackboard and ( an idea from a lady on U tube ) I write 3 things on it every day to do and so far it works fairly well for me. I can`t throw out any pots at all Eli but this coming monday I`m taking dozens of black mostly unused seed trays ( all sanitized and I never use them) to my allotment course for some of the gardeners who will use them and hopefully if I can bear to part with them lots and lots of vegetable seeds.

EliI save all my pots, when I had a good clear out in lockdown the ones that I had too many of I put on our village selling site for free, they went in a couple of hours so it was good to know they were going to be used again instead of going to landfill

I put the pots in the recycling bag. I think they have too many large drainage holes and the compost falls out through them.

I could have ordered more but lots were out of stock I've asked them to let me know when they have them again.

Thank you ladybird, I'll keep looking
Here's my latest buy - Monstera adansonii - a small version of M. deliciosa, Swiss Cheese plant.

That's very sweet Eli, I had a massive Swiss cheese plant for years at our old house, it took over one corner of the living room but eventually I had to get rid of it as it started to die back in places & started to look a mess, that mini version looks good.

My seeds arrived from T&M yesterday I may sow some of the hardier ones soon and see how they do over winter.
I had a peep at that website grindle - looks interesting. I wonder if I'll be able to resist sending for some bulbs ? I haven't planted any of the ones I've got yet.

I've had bulbs from them before Eli and they aregood, these will go in pots the same as my others, then I plant them out early spring when it's easier to see the gaps
